I just think that is the mindset MS is forcing the players to hold. MS wants them to know that if KC starts, they will need to vastly step up their game.

I don't see it as a slip up, but it could have very well been or it could have been an attempt at mis-deception. We won't know until Sunday.

But I am POSITIVE MS told his players to treat anbd prepare this week as if KC is starting on Sunday. Because either way, its a win for MS: either KC starts and the players prepared that way OR RGIII starts and they worked that much harder during the week.

Yeah I think the media is making a lot more out of Garcon's statement than there is.

I have one question though. It seems doubtful that RGIII would be able to practice the next couple days. If your QB is a vet like Ben Roethlisberger or something, you sometimes see teams hold a guy out most of the week and still play him on Sunday. Is that a less likely scenario here because we have a rookie QB?

I would take this with a grain of salt. I'd be willing to bet the coaches themselves aren't 100% decided what will happen yet.

I get that it can be taken one way or the other, I just don't like players coming out and saying things that don't help the team. The ONLY benefit from this injury was that the Browns have to plan for both QBs and be ready to defend 2 separate styles, if players are already coming out and talking about who is playing QB, the advantage is lost.

Again, we have no idea if he meant to say it, made a mistake, or has no idea of who the QB is going to be, just wish he'd plead the 5th on that one. Even the analyst knew he shouldn't have said that.

I honestly don't have a problem with Cousins being the QB this Sunday. RG3's health is much more important than Sunday's game.
